Re: PESO - Among Friends
Vinyl LPs seem to be doing just fine. I expect that commercial CDs have a lower chance of survival. Paper books are easier to produce than either, but they will probably be much more expensive.

Regards, Bob S. Hair too long! Like many young readers, Darrel decided at some young age to read every book in his neighborhood library. It became an unreached goal with baseball, basketball, football, and girls getting in the way. But my favorite story Darrel tells concerns Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories. In the eighth grade, Darrel read the complete Sherlock Holmes stories, and told his brother, Randy, he should read them. Randy wasn't much of a reader, but asked Darrel to read them to him at night, so he did. They shared a bedroom, and every night for a good long while, Darrel read Sherlock Holmes to his little brother Randy.

Re: PESO - Among Friends
Nice. It's unusual to find any young person absorbed in a library of paper books these days. At the cafes, most of the readers are either sitting with Kindles, Nooks, and iPads. That is, when they're not "communicating". ;-) G On Tue, Jul 5, 2011 at 4:49 AM, frank theriault wrote: > It was so nice to see a young lad ~not~ on a computer or playing a > video game.

I feel this could use some curves adjustments though. The dark tones seem to be choked up, and a few too many of the books disappear into murkiness. It's good to see a bookshop like this one. My current fave is Dencan Books up in The Junction, and you must check it out and say Hi to Eddie if you're ever up there. -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
